How To Prevent Water Leaks In El Cerrito, San Diego

>

The first thing you need to know is the location of all emergency shut off valves. The most important one is the main water shut off valve to your home or business. you need to inspect each shut off valve annually to be sure that it is in working order. Most people know it should be done but rarely do the annual inspection. Test each valve in your home by shutting it off and turning on the fixture to see if it actually works. If the valve does not shut off the fixture, we recommend that it be replaced or you run the risk of major damage when the time comes in an emergency situation. Warnings like water stains on the ceilings or a leak under the kitchen sink can lead to real problems. A burst pipe can damage your furniture and other personal possessions, and flooding can quickly lead to costly repairs. In some cases it's better to do a Copper Re-Pipe instead of doing a spot repair.

Sometimes the source of the leak is obvious (like a bathroom faucet leak, shower leaks, or a leaking kitchen sink). Other times the leak may be out of sight, like a water tank leak or a basement water leak. They can even be completely hidden, as in a leaking water pipe in your walls or under your concrete slab.
